Description
The Rainbow by David Herbert Lawrence Published in 1915, this novel caused a stir with its frank representation of sexuality, leading to its banning by the police. Today, it is recognised as a significant work of English literature of the twentieth century. The story spans three generations of the Brangwen family, from the 1840s to the early years of the twentieth century, exploring the pressures that shape their lives. Lawrence's focus is on the individual's struggle for growth and fulfilment within marriage and changing social circumstances. He uses a religious symbolism, with the 'rainbow' of the title serving as a unifying motif. The novel shows how these pressures grow more difficult over the generations, culminating in the story of young Ursula Brangwen, whose experiences are continued in Women in Love. This revised edition features an introduction and notes by Lionel Kelly, providing context and insight into the novel's themes and significance.
